FPaaS has been thrown to expand the meaning of FaaS, but it stresses on “Function” that misses the point that Serverless relies non-function services: AWS Gateway, and S3 has nothing functional about them, yet they are indispensable in serverless solutions. StepFunctions and Event Grid has nothing functional about them but came to life 100% driven by serverless needs. So we need a new name, and in the spirit of Paul Johnston’s “Serverless is just a name. We could have called it Jeff”, I suggest we call it “JPaaS”.
